It has been hoped that regularly weighing children would result in the early detection of growth falterers, and that the growth chart would serve as an educational tool to make that state apparent to both health workers and caretakers in order to trigger improved caring practices. Our objective was to review whether GMP answers the theoretical grounds of a screening and intervention program. METHOD: A systematic literature review was performed. The WHO framework developed by Wilson and Jungner for planning and evaluating screening programs guided the analysis. RESULTS: Sixty-nine studies were retrieved. Overall, evidence is weak on the performance of GMP as a screening program for malnutrition through early detection of growth falterers. The main results are: (1) malnutrition remains a public health problem, but its importance is context specific; (2) the value of a low weight velocity to predict malnutrition is unknown and likely to vary in different contexts; (3) the performance of GMP for improving nutrition status of children and in reducing mortality and morbidity is unknown; (4) the performance of the screening is affected by the unreliability of weight measurements; (5) the promotional and educational effectiveness of GMP is low, in particular the growth chart is poorly understood by mothers; (6) the acceptability seems low in regards of low attendance rates; (7) evidence is lacking regarding cost-effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that there is too little scientific evidence to indiscriminately support international promotion of GMP. However GMP could constitute a valid strategy of public nutrition in specific situations. We indicate paths for further research and how prevention programs could be developed.

Until that date, screening was opportunistic and devoid of quality control. In this paper, the evolution during the first two-year round is compared with the situation before the programme.
Methods: The study population comprised all women aged 50-69 years living in Flanders in the period 2000-2003. The data source was the reimbursement claims database of all social insured of the country, for mammograms, breast ultrasounds and magnetic resonance imaging.
Results: In the 2002-2003 period, the participation rate by screening mammography was 32.7%. When adding the participation to the still existing opportunistic screening (21.7%), the percentage of women who underwent a mammography amounts to 54.3% of the study population, as compared to 40.5% in the preceding two years. The programme has also reduced inequities between age groups and socio-economic categories:
almost all women participate in an equal manner. In 2003, as
many as 77.3% of the diagnostic mammograms and 6.3% of the screening mammograms were followed within 90 days by additional imaging.
Conclusion: This organised screening programme already reached
a substantial proportion of the target group during its launch period. It also managed to attract women of all ages and of all socio-economic backgrounds. Yet, there remains a long way to go before reaching at least 70% of the target population. The other big challenge is to convince physicians to replace the diagnostic mammography and the ultrasound by the quality-controlled screening mammography.Link for e-copy: http://www.iph.fgov.be/aph/pdf/aphfull64_71_80.pdf Format of e-copy: VDIC IP recognition Record link: http://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=1189 [article]Impact of the KCE reports published in 2009-2011 / Imgard Vinck / Brussels [Belgium] : KCE = Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg = Centre Fédéral d'Expertise des Soins de Santé = Belgian Health Care Knowledge Centre (2013)
